To Stream or Not to Stream? V/H/S/2

Despite my love for anthology films, I put off on watching V/H/S/2 for an entire year, due to the fact that I was largely underwhelmed with 2012’s first installment. I found V/H/S to contain more misses than it did hits, and I was all around quite unimpressed with the short films that comprised it. Now

True Blood Season 7, Episode 3: Recap & Thoughts

Well, it looks like the Modus operandi of True Blood‘s final season is going to be unceremonious character deaths, and since last night’s was so major, it seems only right that we kick off this week’s episode discussion by jumping right in. Alcide quite literally bit the bullet at the very end of the episode,

‘Are You Afraid of the Dark?’ Freaky Favorites: Disc One

To surprisingly little fanfare, Season 1 of Nickelodeon’s Canadian TV series Are You Afraid of the Dark? was quietly released onto DVD here in the states last Tuesday, as part of Amazon’s manufacture-on-demand service. The collection was followed up this week by the complete second season, presumably with the others to follow in the coming

True Blood Season 7, Episode 2: Recap & Thoughts

True Blood‘s seventh season premiere kinda bored me, which was surprising considering I expected the show to bust out all the stops right out of the gate – this being the final season, and all. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much of a momentum pick-up on this past Sunday night’s episode, which I didn’t get the chance

Movie Review: Uncle Forry’s AckerMansions

A die-hard life-long horror and science-fiction buff, the late Forrest J. “Forry” Ackerman was in many ways the kind of fan that every person who writes about genre movies – myself included – aspires to be. Starting the iconic magazine Famous Monsters of Filmland in the late 1950s, Ackerman became a leading voice in the
